As a result, I’ll keep this opener short and send those willing to my piece on Arianna Huffington’s launch of Thrive Global, a company that hopes to lead a workplace revolution in wellness.

The new project is a dramatic departure from The Huffington Post, the effort that built her fortune and that she ran for 11 years until stepping down in August. But this one could potentially have a transformative impact on our national conversation about wellness—in a way, perhaps, that Huffpo could not have for its diffuse microphone and kitchen-sink interests.

Most of the draw is Huffington herself. But, as I wrote—bleary-eyed and in my all-nighter fugue state—“there is also something deeply enticing about Thrive Global’s mission…What’s compelling is not so much the message that well-being leads to happiness, but rather that well-being leads to productivity . . . and creativity. And the opposite is equally true: burn-out, exhaustion, and even more moderate chronic tiredness are productivity (and creativity) killers.”
